I hate you.

Every picture taken @ that track looks like a snap from speed hunters blog...

Is there public access to the track via rentals?

How did you get to actually drive on the track?

I'm also keen to hear the details of your visit.

pretty sure my sons got one id be able to stretch out and borrow..

the blue thing is a ktm gene.. there were several at the track.. never got to see it in action however.. the owners were more than eager to take you in as a passenger though...
unfortunately never got the opportunity to take them up on the offer..

the circuit have track days that come up once in a while during the year... my trip here coincided with one of several track day events they hold..
the half session was 175US.. and if i recall correctly.. the full day session was for 350US

headin to germany in a few days.. hopefully get to visit the wankel museum during my stay there.... heres a pic of the ferrari park under construction..
